How paella catering works in GU6
Everything is cooked from scratch on site, starting with a slow sofrito of onion, garlic, peppers and tomato, followed by stock, saffron and rice. Popular choices include mixed paella, vegan paella and chicken and chorizo paella, and we are frequently booked for wedding breakfasts and evening food and fairs, fêtes and festivals.
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking.
- You share your date, numbers and venue.
- We plan the menu with you, including every diet.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- The sofrito, stock and rice go in, and guests gather to watch.
- Service is straight from the pan, then we pack down.

What’s near Cranleigh
In Cranleigh, that can mean a party near Glebelands School, St Cuthbert Mayne Catholic Primary School and Church of St Nicholas and the streets around them.
Catering events across GU6
From Cranleigh, Ewhurst and Alfold Crossways to 6 villages and hamlets, events across GU6 range from town-centre venues to gardens and fields, and live paella works in all of them. Town events mean planning parking; village events mean planning access.
Cranleigh: Thinking of a picnic-style party in Sayer's Croft LNR? Public parks normally need permission from the council or landowner for cooking, so check first. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like St Cuthbert Mayne Catholic Primary School, a paella stall is a crowd-pleaser. Evenings in Cranleigh stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the cooking and serving areas need good lighting.
Why live paella works
Few dishes cope with mixed diets like paella, thanks to separate pans for each version. Nobody gets a token ‘special meal’.
In GU6 and nearby, we cater all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Staff parties and work lunches
- Naming days and family parties
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Retirement celebrations
What paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Timings and hours
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- Guest numbers
Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- A picture of where we’d cook
Each quote is tailored to your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Space, weather and the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Choose two or three paellas so every guest has a choice
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Mention any other courses or food
- Have seats for most of your guests
After service, we pack down our cooking area.
Add canapé tapas with the drinks or table tapas as a starter as the rice cooks.
About the dishes
Paella Valenciana
Valencians take their paella seriously. The classic version is chicken, green beans and butter beans with saffron, and it’s a crowd-pleaser.
Mixed paella
Mixed paella brings meat and seafood together.
Questions from GU6
Is the paella gluten-free?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Which paellas suit our guests?
That depends on who’s coming. Chicken and mixed paellas tend to go first, with seafood and vegetable pans alongside.
Is paella a full meal?
Paella is a meal in itself. Tapas and desserts can be added if you like.
- Cooked live in giant pans at your event
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
- Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
